Under accounting principles generally accepted in India, the company should have made a provision for interest expense of Rs.11.87 crores. Had the company made a provision for the same the current year loss would have been higher by the said amount.
ii. Reference is invited to Note 3.07 of the financial statements, The Company has not provided the interest on unsecured loans for Rs. 4.23 crores and interest on term loans for Rs. 2.73crores for the year ended 31st March 2 016, since the company is pursuing the matter for settlement.
Under accounting principles generally accepted in India, the company should have made a provision for interest expense of Rs. 6.96crores (Previous Year Rs 8.14 crores). Had the company made a provision for the same, the current year loss would have been higher by the said amount.
iii. Reference is invited to Note 3.12 of the financial statements, the Companyâs Capital Advances to the extent of Rs. 9.52 crores, âwe are unable to ascertain whether such balances as at balance sheet date are fully recoverable. Accordingly, we are unable to ascertain the impact, if any, that may arise in case any of these advances are subsequently determined to be doubtful of recovery.

iv. Reference is invited to Note 3.15 of the financial statements, during the year the company has written off Rs. 33.49 crores as bad debts. However, the Companyâs Trade Receivables still consists of Rs. 6.67 crores that are more than three years old and âwe are unable to ascertain whether such balances as at balance sheet date are fully recoverable.

For Audit Qualification(s) where the impact is quantified by the auditor, Management''s Views:
i. The loan has become NPA and management has submitted the proposal for settlement with the banks and is under consideration by the bankers and we are of the opinion that no provision is necessary.
ii. Due to tight liquidity position, company has approached the lenders of unsecured loans and term loans for one time settlement. Since the company is of the opinion that the lenders will consider favorably, interest has not been provided on such loans.
iii. Company has given advances to various suppliers for supply of capital goods for its LED Display Divisionâs expansion projects. The management is closely pursuing with such suppliers for supply of such capital goods. We are insisting such suppliers to either supply the goods or refund the advance amount without further delay.

iv. Due to the prevailing recessionary trend in the industry in the last 3 to 4 years, significant portion of trade receivables remain uncollected. The management has setup a separate team for close monitoring and collection of such overdue receivables and based on their recommendation we are already written off bad debts and other debit balances to the extent of Rs. 33.49 crores. The management is confident of collecting the remaining overdue trade receivables over a period of time and hence no provision has been made.
v. The above advances include a sum of Rs.1.90 Crores given as advance for acquisition of shares in those companies which are engaged in manufacture of LED lighting products and power electronics and the management is insisting such companies to allot/transfer shares at the earliest or else refund the invested amount.
